Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has declared his entrance into the 2025 NFL Draft. It was a widely expected move, though there was some thought that Milroe would stay in school for more lucrative NIL deals than making the jump to the professional level.
“Football has always been my passion, and since I was a kid, I dreamed of competing at the highest level. Through every win, every tough loss, and any criticism along the way, my love and dedication to this game has never wavered,” Milroe said in a prepared social media statement. “Each day, my gratitude for the opportunity to play this sport I love only grows stronger.”
Milroe quickly accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl, which presents the Crimson Tide standout with a great opportunity to showcase his NFL potential. Based on his game film, Milroe can sure use a strong week in Mobile in late January. His athleticism hasn’t always translated into being an efficiently effective quarterback, notably in his final college appearance–Alabama’s bowl loss to Michigan.
